Thousands of Chickens Perish in Georgia Poultry Farm Blaze
ATLANTA - More than 20,000 chickens have been killed in a fast-moving fire at a Forsyth County commercial poultry farm.
Forsyth County fire department spokesman Capt. Jason Shivers said firefighters were called to the farm just before 4 p.m. Tuesday.
He said the blaze was fully involved when they arrived and that chicken houses burn quickly because there's an open frame and a lot of wood, dust and feathers.
No humans were injured, but two other nearby chicken houses were believed to be damaged.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
